Introduction
Many people have come to Christ and yet have not had an encounter with Jesus. This for reasons being that, some come to Christ being driven by circumstances beyond their control, stress, fear, hurt, witches, etc. and they deem it necessary to seek a new relationship with him for a solution. As a result of this, many in the spiritual race Heb 12:1, 1 Corinthians 9:24 get so tired, get frustrated and give up. These lessons will guide you to dig deep into your spiritual foundation, destroy the old and ask Jesus to help you in establishing a new foundation, built on a solid rock that will stand the test of every season. Read this lesson John 3:1-7, why did Jesus ask us to be born again? Wasn’t Nicodemus a follower and a believer in him as a teacher sent from God? What does it mean to be born again? Born again is a spiritual and moral transformation as a result of an individuals conscious rejection of sin and Satan in all His ways through repentance and inviting Christ to live in you by the Holy Spirit.
Why must we be Born Again?
There is no way we can talk of being born again without talking of What God intended for us in His divine plan.
1.) In Genesis 1:27-31 God created Man in His image and made him ruler in the earth.
2.) Man through disobedience lost his position of dominion (Genesis 2:16-20) Genesis 3:1-24
.3.) All humanity became enslaved by sin(Romans 3:23, Isaiah 53:6,Romans 6:23
4.) Man became spiritually dead and blind to the things of God Jeremiah 17:9,
Romans 8:6-8, Ephesians 2:3
5.) It is therefore by his grace through Christ Jesus that we are reconciled or can be
reconciled with God to enter into the kingdom ofGod.9John 3:3-5.1t is therefore through
new birth that we are set free from sin and the sentence of death and restored to our
Originality in dominion, glory and honor Romans 3:21-26.
6.) Isaiah 64:6, your best action is like filthy racks before God.
7.) We need to be born again because the kingdom of God is at hand. Matthew 4:17, Luke5:22
8.) If we say we have not sinned we make his word a Liar 1st’John 1:8
9.) we need to be dead to sin Romans 6: 11
10.) No one is put right with God by obeying the law Romans 3:20
:Isaiah 1:18 says come let us reason together.
Because sin Lord’s itself over us, John 8:34
God in His Redemptive Purpose
After the fall of man, in the Garden of Eden, wickedness or sin grew on earth Gen 4: 1-16
Gen 6:5~8, Man tried to be like God Genesis 11:1-9, Genesis 19:1.God raised
Abraham in Genesis 12: 1-3, Genesis 17 and in Genesis 46 God asked Jacob to go to Egypt (Israel goes to Egypt) where they are oppressed and God raises Moses to deliver them. Yet after deliverance, they still rebelled against Moses and His God .God establishes another covenant with
Moses. A conditional covenant Deuteronomy 8: 1-20 Blessings if you obey 28: 114 and curses if you disobey Deuteronomy 28: 15-68 because of Israel’s disobedience God allows them into the hands of the enemies. Israel’s continual disobedience rejects God as their king and asked for their own king. 1st Samuel 8:1 and 9:1.. .. And the Lord rejects Saul as king l ” Samuel 15:l.Davidanointed king over Judah 2nd Samuel 2: 1-7 in 2 Samuels’: 1 David is made king over Israel. But in chapters 11 David commits adultery with Bathsheba Uriah’s wife. David makes Solomon asking who builds a temple of God. From the time of Samuel, God started speaking to His people through prophets who stood as foretellers and forth tellers .Fore telling and warning about the future of God’s eminent destruction of His people. Then rose Elijah, Elisha 2 kings 13Israel is ruled by succession of kings and finally in 2kings 17:7 Israel is exiled because of sin.
Prophet Isaiah came calling for Israel to turn back to God as well as other prophets, Jeremiah,
Ezekiel, Daniel etc. God promise for Deliverance .As a result of Gods disappointment with man, he revealed through Isaiah the coming of our Lord Jesus and finally Jesus came as the perfect one through which we can be reconciled with him. In math chapter 1, we see the Genealogy of Jesus that make us to see him as an Israelite, the circumstances the surround His birth and confirmation as the new born king. In chapter 3 we see John the Baptist preparing the way MATH 3: 1-12.
:John 3: 16 God’s love
What did Jesus do for you on the cross, for without the message of the cross that spells out his reason for His coming; crucifixion, death and burial we are preaching another Gospel.
Any Christian that cannot spell out the message of the cross has not fully yielded to the will of the father; it is our identity that comes before our wants! And our needs as we strife towards the kingdom.(Kiven)

through him.
Read the story of the prodigal son, we were once like him and lost our birth rights with our father Luke 15 but if we remember our position in the kingdom, His love for us, we can come home for reconciliation. Luke 15:1-that we may enjoy total restoration.
